General Conference

Today we have been watching General Conference on TV. I was asleep and woke up to hear the Mormon Tabernacle Chior singing.

"Wow!" I thought, "it must be late!"

I jumped out of bed and ran in to listen to conference. On the way I was trying to find Kristen but could not. Downstairs Kerry was getting himself a bowl of Cranberry Macadamia Crunch cereal.

"Where is Kristen?" I asked.

"I don't know." Kerry replied.

So I looked around some more and there she was lying on the couch underneath a blanket. She looked like she had just awakened herself. Her hair was tosled and she was in her pj's.

Okay. So sometimes I am not the greatest at watching TV without doing something. So I ran upstairs and got on the elliptical machine for a half hour while I watched conference. But I did learn some new things.

Some of the highlights that I remember from the Saturday morning session are:

President Monson asked that we pray that the missionaries will be able to enter countries where we have not been allowed to preach the gospel yet.

President Perry asked that we live within our means and not live in homes that are too expensive for our income.

President Uchtdorf talked about his wonderful mother and the power of prayer when she lost her 4 children in a railroad car.

Sister Allred and Brother Aidukaitis bore a beautiful testimony about their gratitude that their ancestors joined the church.

Hope that you will enjoy Conference this weekend and listen to the testimonies of church leaders.
